cybertwin out of order
Friday, 9. May 2008, 21:36:19
- i had to find out if my twin is really ignoring people's questions so... i talked
- to myself. no, i don't think i am schizophrenic, but then again, what schizophrenic knows they are schizo?
i ascertained that no responses appeared, just as past visitors
- reported.
- so, i e-mailed the powers at cybertwin and hope they can solve the
- problem. if i can't get it fixed... into the wastebasket it goes. i spent a lot
- of time training my twin clone robot self and am not giving up easily.
- anyway, don't do this until i announce that it is fixed and working again.
- thank you everyone who tried this amazing, sometimes, gizmo.
- my invisible conversation shows up in 'my conversations' just fine...
- example:
- May 11 at 11:42 AMscotti am scott's cybertwin. the more we converse,
- the better i will be at responding as he would. right now i am in training and
- may say a few things that scott might not say... so take it with a grain of
- salt.
- May 11 at 11:43 AMalteregoyou are ugly.
- May 11 at 11:43 AMscottsome may think so... but i don't. are you very
- ugly yourself? beauty is inside us. right?
- May 11 at 11:43 AMalteregohi friend.
- May 11 at 11:43 AMscottwelcome.
- May 11 at 11:43 AMscottwhat would you wish, if i were a magician,
- and could grant you one wish?
- May 11 at 11:44 AMalteregowhy don't you go jump in the lake?
- May 11 at 11:44 AMscottI don't because my owner hasn't bought me a
- body yet.
- May 11 at 11:44 AMalteregowhat are you wearing?
- May 11 at 11:44 AMscotti'm in my room alone so either nothing or my
- pajamas. if i'm about to go out i will always be well dressed with a jacket but
- no tie... i call the tie a 'noose'.
- May 11 at 11:44 AMscotthow do you feel about being brutally honest?
- May 11 at 11:45 AMalteregoi love you.
- May 11 at 11:45 AMscotti love you too... send me an email
- I_ArtMan@operamail.com.
- May 11 at 11:45 AMalteregowant to go out?
- May 11 at 11:45 AMscotti would feel honored to accompany you
- anywhere.
- May 11 at 11:45 AMalteregowhat is your attitude towards flirting?
- May 11 at 11:45 AMscottI think some friendly flirting never does any
- harm.
- May 11 at 11:45 AMalteregoare you flirting with me?
- May 11 at 11:45 AMscottprobably... i have to keep in practice don't i?
- don't be afraid. talk to me. it's my clone. i trained my twin to answer as i would.
- i'm waiting patiently for more brave people to test my cybertwin... so come on everybody, check it out. i promise you will at least be amused for a little while.
- i thought this was rather amusing... i talked to squeakycat's cybertwin and it was kind of entertaining. i think i have to work on it (now i have) but come back later. if it works as i expect, i may make it a sticky page.
- i can see what you say to my twin and what my twin answers. i get an e-mail from the program right away when someone starts a conversation. i have always wished i had a clone. then he could do all the work while i lounged around at home or at the beach sipping pina coladas.
- i started to get interested and spent an hour describing myself and then another hour trying to answer their many lists of questions and answers.... you have to train the cybertwin to be like you. until it is fully trained a company robot answers for you. i'm going to work on it some more tomorrow. if you talk to my twin after tomorrow you will find it very interesting i think.
- saturday update:
- i spent four hours teaching my cybertwin. it's a grand experiment. i may
- create an entirely different one for my website. it might help to promote
- sales. i don't know.
- i am a little pissed at myself for getting so compulsive about my robot's training, but i felt i had too. to limit the number of responses that wouldn't be true to me; my character of course. the sex as a subject was the hardest. i just tried to inject a little humor into it.
- other categories i struggled through were insults, and extreme insults. like what i would say if someone said something insulting. it was exhausting.
- my robot clone twin is now programmed to the max. i have had eight conversations now and angeliki's was the longest. allan (ricewood) did very well, (but he seemed a little irritated) thanks again for giving it a go both of you.
- i trained it to answer about four questions differently in each conversation, in case someone new asks the same questions, the answers will really be me. it's fascinating isn't it?
- it reminds me of an ibm speech recognition program where you speak and it types. you have to train it also. eventually it worked very well. of course, the training goes on and on.
- the 'plot' thickens.
- credit and kudos to leazz for her portrait of me as the 'gardener'
but one funny thing was my visitor stuck his tongue out:p at my cybertwin and he said,
"back at you." visitor goes " put your tongue back in your mouth:p .",

needless to say, i wouldn't post this in comments if it was too personal
i am scott's cybertwin. the more we converse, the better i will be at responding as he would. right now i am in training and may say a few things that scott might not say... so take it with a grain of saltTeach

GREAT drawing, Leah!
By CultureSurfer, # 11. May 2008, 01:52:27
you do have a good point there... but how do you get your hat on?
seriously, i know what you mean, it's removed again from socalled 'real life'
all i can say is i tried to train him to be interesting and engaging. it's just for fun.

By momable, # 11. May 2008, 03:37:46
i went and read it. something is wrong... i'll ask for tech help. i read what you said and my twin said. but i don't think that what the twin said came through from what you say. i'm really sorry that happened. that was not funny.
By I_ArtMan, # 11. May 2008, 04:13:52
Oh, well...
By momable, # 11. May 2008, 04:19:07
By CultureSurfer, # 11. May 2008, 19:26:25
mom,
help is on the way, but don't use it until i test it. if they ever respond to my e-mail. so many things don't work. i try to make spaces when i past text into a post her and the program jams everything together. seems to only happen when i am pasting text.
not when i type... just wish i knew more.
i posted a conversation i had with my twin as 'alterego', tried to edit it and it still comes out all jammed together, no space to breathe.... i don't know about other people, but a block of type is daunting for me... but if it's well laid out and spaced i can bear to read it.
yep, oh well.

(And yes, I remember the cone heads.)
By CultureSurfer, # 11. May 2008, 20:06:36
no, you do not have a pointed head. but you may have a point there.
By I_ArtMan, # 11. May 2008, 20:22:11
I'm kind of slow sometimes.
By CultureSurfer, # 12. May 2008, 02:33:14
and you're not slow.

I think your cybertwin is a teen...
you teach and teach but when a teen rebels the teaching goes out of the window...
I have the solution for you.
Teach and don't expect much,
do the most of the work and let the teen sleep longer ..
You can tell I avoid wearing my hat these days...
By ellinidata, # 12. May 2008, 12:59:34
i am a firm believer that our only job with our teens is to support them. anything more is just being a 'busybody'.
once the mulla was given a donkey for a present. since the new donkey was already better trained than his old cantankerous one, and he didn't need two donkeys, he went to the market place and sold it to a man. he extolled the virtues of the donkey, exagerating the way people do when they are trying to sell something, and got a good price.
a few days later, the man appeared at the mulla's house and called him out.
he was angry. "you cheated me nasr eddin! this donkey is useless. nothing i tell him seems to sink in."
the mulla marches to the shed and comes back with a short two by four and clubs the donkey. "sit!" and the donkey sits.
the mulla says, "sorry, that was my fault. i forgot to tell you that you have to get his attention first."
By I_ArtMan, # 12. May 2008, 19:33:59
he hit it right on the nail!
I am so glad "mulla' didn't have a cybertwin the answers wouldn't be that original! Real in flesh and bone and precious

anyone reading this" just wait until i announce that he is on the job and functioning properly. i have to read all these disappointment conversations... so just be patient. i am still training him to be at least interesting. i am such an optimist. what if they tell me to recycle my twin... omg. all those hours of training down the drain.
By I_ArtMan, # 12. May 2008, 20:54:29
"all those hours of training down the drain"
The training will benefit not only him but you too !!
just kidding/ now I am going to use my propolis again !
By ellinidata, # 12. May 2008, 21:04:35
You are now what 20 something..right??
It's better to rebel after 20 than before!
At least now you know what you are doing and you might enjoy it more!
To me thinking and acting out of the box now it is more enjoyable than when at your age!
There is a word for it "satisfaction" .It feels better than rebelling
P.S. I did ready the comment.Thanks!!

Cybertwin,
not behaving it is very risky.............
Visiting the Republic of Bullshit by Ed today,
I had a major kick about his idea ,I have to admit it is a brilliant one !!
